Some Kat Scrappiness Slimline Inspiration

  I made this inspiration card for the Die Cut Divas whose sponsor for November is Kat Scrappiness.  You only have until 9:00 p.m. Pacific time to enter the challenge

Kat Scrappiness is offering a prize of a 

Kat Scrappiness Gift Pack valued at least $25.

These little houses or sheds remind me of 1800s bathing sheds (also called bathing machines as some of them were on wheels).  I thought anything by the beach had to be brightly colored, so I took reds, oranges, yellows, greens and blues to color my beach houses.  There is NO stamping on this card anywhere, just die-cuts.  The top row of houses and trees is a WINTER die and when I look at the row here, I can only imagine a row of summer houses because of those bright colors and the beach scene.

I cut houses from a second sheet of the die cut on copic paper to color and fit between two Wave dies, one colored to look like sand dunes and the other in blue greens for the sea.  I dotted the landscape with enamel dots to make believe they were beach balls ready for children to come out and play.  I left the word "Paper" off of the sentiment die and it really works well in this setting.  I had such fun creating this scene to be able to use it as other than as a Winter or Christmas landscape.

A Month With Kat Scrappiness at Die Cut Divas

  Die Cut Divas' sponsor for November is Kat Scrappiness and the Divas thought Slimline and Mini Slimline cards were perfect to make your holiday cards, no matter the content.  So let's get making those wonderful SLIMLINE and MINI-SLIMLINE cards.

Kat Scrappiness is offering a prize of a 

Kat Scrappiness Gift Pack valued at least $25.

The standard size of a slimline card is typically 3.5" X 8.5" (8.89 X 21.59 cm).  The card base for a mini slimline card is typically 3" X 6".   These are approximate sizes and we won't be checking to see if your card meets the exact standard for either size.    

I made both a mini-slimline and a regular slimline card.  The sentiment comes with a background in the set, but I used it without the background in the mini-slimline and with the background for the second card.  

It just worked out perfectly that I had some amazing cardboard ads showing a sunset & dark silhouette which I used for the sentiment backing die.  This may be simple, but in real life (RL), it packs a punch!

Altenew in August

 Spending time with Altenew this month.

Die Cut Divas challenge for the month of August is "watercolor real or faux".

"Watercolor real or faux" includes splattering of water on distress inked panels, application of a water spritzed stencil to pull up distress inks from a distress inked panel and smooshed backgrounds, so there's lots of techniques you can go with for watercolor real or faux.

I actually tried water-coloring. It's not too bad for a beginner; it could be better; not bad. LOL I made a mini-slimline card because the water stamp is narrow and it works great for a mini-slimline card. I chose a dark blue folder to die-cut a panel surrounding the scene, which really pops the entire scene, making the card feel crisp and clean.

Supplies:

Altenew Be a Lighthouse stamp set

SECOND CARD - a bit quirky

I popped up the sentiment for a "just because" kind of card. This is only part of the image.  I just loved that tea pot house, so I resized it to make it larger.  I love the way that mouse is taking it easy.

I made a mistake on the left curtain of the kettle house.  I drew the circle all the way around the left side where the curtain was supposed to be hanging out the window - too dark a color to easily get rid of.  I put a dot of Nuvo to make it look like the other dots on the house - I SAVED it.

Here's the coloring page so you can go for the full image if you want.  Really CUTE!

Card Chain Challenge reveal for August

 Card Chain Challenge - Always a great way to keep in touch with each other.  The big reveal for all entries is at here on September 2nd.

We had color, sketch, theme and product/technique options to choose from.  I chose paper piecing, which I haven't done in quite some time.  On with the reveal!

  

            

I dressed up a Julie Nutting doll and added lots of glittery things to the whole card, including the outfit.  This is the first time I've used this doll that has a matching die.  I had lots of fun making this card from how to dress her to using a new stencil.
